Archival Practices

This chapter takes the concept of ‘living heritage’ as a starting point to show the ways in which focusing on tangibility and intangibility, the formal and the informal, can be used to stretch the concepts of archival practice. It highlights the cultural and intellectual traditions, tangible and intangible, found within the Caribbean, Africa, and across the Diaspora. Accordingly, the institutions, organisations, concepts, and practices discussed here have a ‘pre-history’ both internationally and in the UK — a prehistory inseparable from the development of the intellectual and cultural history of African and Caribbean communities in the Diaspora. Despite this, an archival science capable of dealing with these complexities has yet to be developed. The chapter thus considers the ways in which Black-led archival practices in the UK have historically sought to both disrupt and define heritage practices. It makes a claim for the active, political and cultural incursions, disruptions, and interventions in the heritage sector by Black-led archives and heritage practitioners.

Finding Aids

Archivists have traditionally understood access through finding aids, assuming that—through creating them—they are effectively providing access to archival materials. This article is a history of finding aids in American archival practice that demonstrates how finding aids have negatively colored how archivists have understood access. It shows how finding aids were originally a compromise between resource constraints and the more familiar access that users expected, how a discourse centered on finding aids hindered the standardization of archival description as data, and how the characteristics of finding aids as tools framed and negatively impacted the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) standard. It questions whether finding aids are a productive or useful framework for understanding how archivists provide access to collections.

Zwarte w tekście rozważania wpisują się w badania nad dziejami archiwum i skarbca koronnego krakowskiego w epoce staropolskiej. Autorka skupia się na podejmowanych w XVI-XVIII w. działaniach inwentaryzacyjnych, szczególny nacisk kładąc na komisje oddelegowane do przeprowadzania rewizji skarbca i archiwum. Sposób powoływania komisarzy oraz ich liczba (zadeklarowana i rzeczywista), przedstawione na przestrzeni trzech stuleci, ukazują, w jaki sposób podejmowano inicjatywy o charakterze archiwalnym (w stosunku do najważniejszych wówczas instytucji tego typu) oraz jak i z jaką skutecznością wprowadzano je w życie. Old Polish archival practice based on the research on the inventories of royal treasury and archive of Kraków (16th–18th centuries). Inventory commissions The present discussion is a part of research on the history of the royal archive and treasury in Kraków in the Old Polish period. The author focuses on the inventory actions undertaken in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, drawing particular attention to the commissions delegated to conduct the audit of the treasury and the archive. The method of appointing members of the commission and their number (both on paper and in reality), presented over the period of 300 years, show how initiatives of an archival character (concerning the most important institution of this type back then) were undertaken, and how effective their application was in practice.

Hungary’s National Library and National Archives seek to collect, as exhaustively as possible, information sources defined as Hungarica: created by, or about, Hungary or Hungarians. Modern archival practice privileges the principle of provenance (the identity of the author or records creator) in determining what an archive should acquire. The Hungarian government’s Mikes Kelemen Program, founded in 2013, builds on earlier efforts for the acquisition of foreign Hungarica publications and manuscripts, defined by the Hungarian identity of the author. But because Hungarians living in the diaspora are not only Hungarian, sensitivity to the heritage and collecting interests of the diaspora host country is recommended.

The Individual

This chapter discusses the Inclusive Archive of Learning Disability History. It points to a collaborative relationship between the political ideas derived from public political logics — public service, public sphere, ‘on behalf of the public’ and for posterity — and those that derive from relational and personal-centred politics. Rather than favouring one or the other, the chapter argues that for an archive to be an archive, and for it to be an inclusive one, an approach to archival practice that held both the public and the relational political traditions in dialogue needed to be developed. Both political traditions have a history of being very effectively expressed in the learning disability self-advocacy movement as speaking up and being heard, and of arguing for services to start with the individual by being more ‘person-centered’. As such, the chapter reveals that the task of this archive is to explore fruitful combinations and collaborations between the two political traditions.

This chapter explores archival practices and the role of primary source materials in the history of research about the Bulgarian Middle Ages and their connection to nationalism. First, there is an overview on the value of archival descriptions in archival practice, which contribute to the discoverability, usability, accessibility, as well as integrity, of unique, historical collections to the researcher. Second, a case study about the connection of Bogdan Filov, Josef Strzygowski, and Thomas Whittemore is presented, and their investigation of Byzantine and Bulgarian medieval monuments is described in order to show how archival descriptions serve as preconditions for understanding, discovering, and accessing primary source material.

Artykuł ukazuje pierwsze lata działalności Teatru Polskiego w Poznaniu po odzyskaniu wolności. Był to okres dyrekcji Bolesława i Nuny Szczurkiewiczów, którzy zajęli się organizacją sceny poznańskiej już w kwietniu 1918 r. Na podstawie dokumentów oraz doniesień z prasy poznańskiej w artykule opisano, w jaki sposób w latach 1918-1924 Szczurkiewiczowie rozwiązywali kwestie formalne działalności Teatru, formowali zespół aktorski i przygotowywali się do otwarcia nowego sezonu. W 1920 r. do dyrektorskiej pary dołączył Roman Żelazowski i dzięki ich wspólnej pracy lata 1920-1924 były jednym z najciekawszych okresów historii Teatru Polskiego w Poznaniu. Old Polish archival practice based on the royal treasury and archive of Kraków (16th–18th centuries). Inventory commissions The article describes the first years of operation of the Polish Theater in Poznań after regaining independence. This was the time when the directors were Bolesław and Nuna Szczurkiewicz, who organized the stage in Poznań as early as April 1918. The article describes how in the years 1918–1924, the Szczurkiewicz couple solved formal problems of the Theater’s operation, chose actors and prepared for the new season openings, based on the documents and information found in the Poznań press. In 1920, Roman Żelazowski joined the couple. Owing to their joint effort, the years 1920–1924 became one of the most interesting periods in the history of the Polish Theater in Poznań.
